Sudden Death Claims Woman at Keene Home

Mrs. B. F. Wilkinson Dies After half-hour of Illness At Grandson’s

Health Seemed Good

Was Well Known Throughout Entire Township

Mrs. Jennie Wilkinson, widow of the late B. F. Wilkinson, died suddenly at the 
home of her grandson, Floyd Sparks, in Keene township, Friday night as a result 
of acute indigestion.

Mrs. Wilkinson, during the day, had been in splendid health, and had been 
visiting at the home of her son, Milton Wilkinson, Saranac hardware dealer.

Mr. Wilkinson had taken his mother to the Sparks home to spend the rest of the 
day.  While there she was taken with an attack of indigestion and died within a 
half hour, before medical aid could reach her.

Mrs. Wilkinson was one of the best known women in the township and was famous 
throughout the district for her hospitality.  Her splendid big home was at 
nearly all times the center of community activities with which she was closely 
allied.

She was very prominent and active in affairs of the Keene Grange and of the 
Methodist church of Keene, of which she was a member.

She was born in Saranac May 2, 1855, but commonly was thought to be a woman 
much younger because of her splendid health and youthful appearance.

She was preceded in death by her husband, who died three years ago after the 
couple had been married 54 years.

Mrs. Wilkinson is survived by two sons, Dr. M. B. Wilkinson and Milton 
Wilkinson; one daughter, Mrs. George Golds, North Keene; seven grandchildren; 
and three brothers, Chadwick Lee, Saranac, Elmer Lee, Leslie, Mich., and Elvert 
Lee, Bailey.

Funeral services will be held from the home of Floyd Sparks Tuesday at 2 p.m.  
Burial will be at Saranac.
